yep, it would almost go in the same sentence as the word 'chav'. The TMS car looks far more purposeful yet retains the standard car's sillouette.

Yup James, off that very car.


Its a one off isn't it?

I'm guessing the mould no longer exists anyway


No, I have a spare carbon roof and a fibreglass roof to sell at some point and the moulds are intact and available.

No. Not without so much modification that you might as well make one from scratch to fit properly, in the first place.

My kit is not for you Neil, it is really for race cars that are looking to reduce drag.


EFA, also I suspect it really need the rear calm cutting to maintain cooling airflow through the engine bay

TBH it needs to be a solution that allows easy access to the boot/engine

So would cliffies need more vents in the clam to be more effective ? Also would directing air into the engine bay via the roof scoop have an effect on cooling could you re direct the air across the rear diffuser and win the F1 ?

Any more pictures from rear cliffie

Looking at that picture its very square cut. Looks like a piece of tooling board cut to shape, louvres added and then another piece stuck on for the scoop. Wouldn't be too hard to copy (almost exactly) if someone had the time.

It depends the air flow through the engine bay on the VX enters through the ears and the NACA ducts then exits mainly via the grills on the engine cover. Therefore if you want to maintain this then you need to make sure the vents are big enough. However if you have a roof scoop that's not feeding sealed air box or ducted down to the engine then you could just end up with the air short circuiting and going stirght out the vents and not cooling the engine bay. To get the air flow through from the roof scoop to cool the engine bay you need to remove the boot and cut the rear clam. The only real use the small vents in the calm will be are when the car is stationary to allowing heat to convect out.

Not but you could move the exhaust up and fit a double diffuser ;)

See I knew you knew what you were talking about. So is it better use the scoop to feed my air filter and leave the lid solid with vents of the same size as the boot lid ones or at least use the same amount cm2 of grill Imnotworthy

I'd also have one of these, I prefer the louvres that are the whole width of the back rather than cliffies version with 1 set each side. Both look :wub: though. Why didn't I have mine done matt black instead of snot green......... That one is perfection!
